Introduction
LESSON PLAN REVIEW: RUBRIC REFLECTION
This week, I struggled with creating a rubric to rate my lesson plan. This was my first
time creating a rubric from scratch because I am used to using pre-made rubrics included with
the curriculum I teach and simply adapting them for my special education students. My initial
research began by identifying ISTE standards corresponding to the five elements the rubric
should include. The five criteria I highlighter are functionality, accessibility, technicality,
facilitation, and promote higher-order thinking. I chose an analytical rubric to assess my
effectiveness in applying the standards and see where I needed to improve. I chose an analytical
rubric to evaluate my effectiveness in applying the standards and see where I could improve. The
tool I used is effective based on my rubric and the commentary.
Reflection on rubric
The e-learning and digital tools employed in the classroom should provide a formative
and summative evaluation. I am learning how to incorporate formal assessment opportunities
throughout the lesson through technology-based lesson planning. Using platforms or
technologies such as Kahoot, PowerPoint, iPads, and e-dictionary can help me assess my
student's understanding of a lesson by offering immediate feedback on their responses. Based on
my assessment and feedback, I employ the tool effectively. I appreciate being able to correct
errors or have an open discussion with the class if I observe that most students are struggling
with a particular topic, making reteaching easier.
My students often find technology very helpful in comprehension or understanding the
lesson by providing another outlet through games or other forms of engagement such as Kahoot!
Another reason my special education students find the technology useful as they are too shy or
intimated by other peers to participate in asking questions due to comprehension difficulty.
Using technology, they can provide answers to questions without being judged and receive

teacher feedback directly. If the majority of my students struggle with the same things in the
lesson, this insinuates that I must re-teach my lesson in better practice, and I would also take this
time to ask my student to advocate when they don't understand something. I also adjust the
assessment part of my lesson, as it is essential to leverage technology for formative and
summative assessments in students learning.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I am aware of the significance of incorporating technology into the
classroom and how it can serve as an additional form of encouragement for students with varying
needs. Complying with the American Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all classes incorporate
all forms of technology. In constructing a valid rubric for this task, all forms of compliance,
including ISTE requirements and ADA, were considered. This task was pretty challenging
because it was my first time constructing a rubric, but I can continue to improve with practice.
